To determine if 565 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 565.
If the factors of 565 are only 565 and 1, then we know that 565 is a prime number. Otherwise, 565 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 565 is only divisible by 1 and 565, then it is a prime number, and if 565 is divisible by more than 565 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 565 are as follows:
1, 5, 113, 565
Therefore, since 565 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 565 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 566 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 565 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
